Ferrari Daytona 365GTB4 engine running on test stand - Part 2

This is the first run-in of a Ferrari Daytona 365GTB4 Ferrari engine on a test stand following the rebuild by Carlo Durante of Alfa of Tacoma. Ferrari Daytonas use a dry sump oil system - on the engine test stand, the dry sump oil tank is seen towards the rear of the engine on the right-hand (passenger side). At the beginning of the video, Carlo is seen adjusting the oil pressure regulator near the front of the engine (brass cap) - the oil pressure will eventually be adjusted down to about 70 lbs/in at 3000 RPM. After the engine is started, Carlo can be seen checking the gauges on the engine test stand (fuel and oil pressure gauges, radiator and engine temperature gauges), adjusting the idle and then individual carb air mixtures. Carlo then attaches a tachometer to the stand (the idle is rock steady at 1000 RPM). Sparks can be seen when Carlo's screwdrive comes close to the ignition coils, Later, carbon sparks can be seen flying out of the observation ports on this US emission equipped Daytona. When the engine was shut off, the observation ports were capped with appropriate nuts. (Sorry about the camera turning upside down briefly and the finger that was over the lens for a second or two - I was trying to back up away from the engine at the time). The sound was incredible!
